I wish a plugin developer would chime in here, but that doesn’t seem likely.

I’m not sure how often they visit, but looks like you done some great stuff here.

I’ve made a note of this thread and I’ll post a trac ticket (bug report) shortly

Can you just confirm what version of bbpress you are using, and if not bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3, can you just check that the code is not improved in this – you’ll do this much faster than me.

[Robin W]

silly question, but why not just change it in

Dashboard>settings>forums>etc.

and you are using a buddypress hook, not a bbpress one – bbpress is bbp_init and all your code refers to buddypress.

[mrapino]

Actually, I figured out what line 18 does.

I made a change. Instead of commenting it out, I edited it to be:

reply.parentNode.insertBefore(respond, reply);

I added “reply” as the second argument being called.

After I did this, the response box, where you put your comment now moves to right under the post where you click reply.

Check it out, and let me know if oyu get it working.

Cheers!

[mrapino]

Hey there … I got mine working.

There is a file in the bbPress plugin folder

plugins > bbpress > templates > default > js > reply.js

On line 18, there is a line of code that is throwing a JavaScript error every time the “reply” link is clicked.

reply.parentNode.insertBefore(respond);

I basically commented this line of code out, and threaded replies are working again.

I have no idea if this line is needed, but it got rid of the error, and there are no new errors to speak of.

I wish a plugin developer would chime in here, but that doesn’t seem likely.

I hope this helps you.

If anyone else reading this know what this line does, and why it was causing the error, please let us know.

Hi,
I am trying to change the group forum slug. E.g.
from
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/forum’
to
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/discussion’

I am using this code:

function gi_rename_group_slug() {
  global $bp;		
  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['slug'] = 'discussion';
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'gi_rename_group_slug');

Unfortunately, nothing happens. What is the error? Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

it’s do-able but would require some code

in essence you need to hook to an action

‘bbp_template_after_topics_loop’

install bbp-style-pack

and then code to [bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10’] with a list of forum ID’s for each category.

I’m out of time to attempt this before my holidays, but above to remind me if you want to bump this topic in a few weeks time, I’ll see if I can fund some time to code

[Robin W]

It’s all tied up with the theme’s page code

This all gets very code oriented, hence suggestion to go to theme provider

however if you’re a bit into code try

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[sapstudent]

Hi Team,

Here is my situation. I have bbpress installed in my site(sapstudent.com/community). I am displaying it under ‘Community’ page using following two short codes.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

Here SAP HANA, SAP Data Services & SAP BO Business Intelligence are categories, everything else are forums.

Now when I click on lets say ‘SAP HANA'(https://www.sapstudent.com/community/forum/sap-hana), it only displays forums under this category, however I would like to have recent topics below forums section as I have in ‘Community’ page.

The other issue I have is, if I use both [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index] shortcodes on my main forum page, I am getting two search boxes(one above forum list and other one above topics list). To avoid this, I have disabled ‘Allow forum wide search’.Ideally how can I disable seachbox for [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, so that I will have only one search box on my main page which is above forum list.

[cobitts15]

Okay so I copied the code from my page.php and made a bbpress.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div class="content">
		<!-- Sidebar With Content Section-->
		<?php 
			$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			$ultimate_kickoff_theme_option = get_option('ultimate_kickoff_admin_option', array());
			if(isset($ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style']) && $ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style'] == 'wide-style'){
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container-fluid';
			}else{
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			}
			if( !empty($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw) ){ 
				echo '<div class="vc-wrapper '.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
				while ( have_posts() ){ the_post();
					if( has_shortcode( get_the_content(), 'vc_row' ) ) {
						echo ultimate_kickoff_content_filter(get_the_content(), true); 
					}
				}
				echo '</div>';
				
				echo '<div class="pagebuilder-wrapper">';
				ultimate_kickoff_show_page_builder($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw);
				echo '</div>';
				
				
			}else{
				echo '<div class="'.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
					$default['show-title'] = 'enable';
					$default['show-content'] = 'enable'; 
					echo ultimate_kickoff_get_default_content_item($default);
				echo '</div>';
			}
		
		?>
	</div><!-- content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

My theme options aren’t showing when I try to edit the forum.

[Robin W]

ok, you’ll need to be using the right template – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

item 8

[cobitts15]

I tried using short code to call the forum and at first glance it works, but if you click on the test group and topics I made it goes back to full width.

Thanks for the reply

[mrapino]

Hello … I opened the Chrome dev console, and hitting the reply link gives me a JavaScript error:

reply.js:18 Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'insertBefore' on 'Node': 2 arguments required, but only 1 present.
    at Object.moveForm (reply.js:18)
    at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick ((index):242)​

Is this a known bug?

[cobitts15]

I’m trying to make my forum look uniform to the rest of my site with a dual sidebar of widgets. I’ve tried to follow the documentation for a bbPress specific sidebar and can’t get that to work either https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#26-creating-a-bbpress-specific-sidebar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the exact same issue with the creation of a new custom role.
My old customs roles worked and still work like a charm but with the new one..

Impossible to set it and assgin it to a user.

The trick is simple, add your custom role with the usal way on your function.php like that :

function vip_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles['vip'] = array(
'name' => 'VIP',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'vip_add_custom_role', 1 );

Then install “Members” Plugin from Justin Tadlock and create a new role with the exact same slug (name) as the one your created.

You can manage the capabilites too if you want, but the most important thing is that your new custom role will be fully usable.

[cassihl]

Does anyone know if bbpress has some code in it that can block the redirect after login? Or if it has its own redirect code that is preventing the redirect plugins from working?

[kriskl]

OK. the problem was with this custom code, which stopped working it would seem..

//* Correct Gravatars 
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" ' . $html_width . $html_height . ' />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}
}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'bp_remove_gravatar', 1, 9 );

function remove_gravatar ($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	return "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$default}' class='avatar avatar-{$size} photo avatar-default' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
}

add_filter('get_avatar', 'remove_gravatar', 1, 5);

function bp_remove_signup_gravatar ($image) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" width="60" height="60" />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}

}
add_filter('bp_get_signup_avatar', 'bp_remove_signup_gravatar', 1, 1 );

[ersatzpole]

Hi,
I am trying to convert from phpBB but have come across a problem.
My reply subject and content is in a different table to the normal ‘posts’ table.
The standard code in the existing conversion file joins the topics table to the posts table like this:

// Setup reply section table joins
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'topics',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'topic_id',
			'join_tablename'  => 'posts',
			'join_type'       => 'LEFT',
			'join_expression' => 'USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id != topics.topic_first_post_id',
			'to_type'         => 'reply'
		);

but I need to also join to the table with the subject and content, the ‘posts_text’ table.
Is this possible using the current conversion framework?
If so can anyone please help me with the syntax.

Many thanks

[Robin W]

1.

I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

then around line 29

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

this is the bit you are wanting to move.

2.

Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post?

yes it can be done, but would need some coding.

Same template, around line 57 you’ll find

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

That’s where you want to add the join date, either as a hook to the action above, or as additional code.

I suspect you’ll want to pick up the date from the wp_posts table user_registered field.

using bbp_get_reply_author_id() should get you the user, and

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

should give you how to use it, with say

<?php $user_info = get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
      $registered = $user_info->user_registered;
      echo $registered?>

probably being close to what you want, but you’ll probably need to do some date stuff to display how you want

https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_date.asp but possibly a strtotime() function

Hopefully that’s enough to get you somewhere !!

[Robin W]

your login requires an authorisation code, which if you get it wrong is taking you to google.

the logon is part of wrodpress, not bbpress, but I guess that you have a plugin that is doing this authorisation, and that’s where you need to look

[Robin W]

possibly

div#wp-bbp_reply_content-editor-tools {
    display: none;
}

in the custom CSS section of your theme

[Howdy_McGee]

Thanks! I’ve been in the code so much I didn’t realize that BBPress has it’s own role to assign things like Keymaster. That ended up doing the trick.

[Shmoo]

Well, if you’re not afraid to dive into the template files you could walk though them and comment-out the parts where the replies get included.

I this part for example.

But when you start doing this you need to understand how to override bbPress template files by copying them over to your own WordPress theme directory. You can find more about that in the codex.

It’s just walking through paths and following the hierarchy.

OF course, back-up and always test this first locally. Never do stuff like this straight on live websites.
